Camilla bid farewell to Tamara and left the manor with Jayden. Tamara saw them off at the gate. Just as she was about to say something, Sebastian pecked her cheek lightly. She turned around stiffly. "Something's off about Camilla's body.""What do you mean?" Sebastian peppered kisses onto Tamara's cheeks and asked absentmindedly.Tamara pushed him away. "I need to call Master and ask about this. This is something out of my knowledge."Sebastian stared blankly at her. Did she just abandon him?…Back at the Moore manor, Jayden instructed, "Go and take a rest now. I'll call you when dinner is ready."Camilla argued, "I'm not sleepy right now. Just feeling a little confused.""Tell me about it." Jayden led her to the couch and looked at her attentively.Camilla pondered for a moment. "Do you know anything about the Bass family that Tanya's mother mentioned?"Jayden smirked. "I knew you'd be curious, so I've already sent someone to investigate. I don't know much about the Bass
"How are you doing?" Simon's voice sounded heavier than usual. Camilla muttered lightly, "I'm fine now, thank you."Simon remained silent. Just as Camilla thought the call had been disconnected, his voice rang out again, "I was still too late. If I had arrived before him, would things be different?"Camilla didn't know where he was getting at. But it suddenly hit her. She gave Jayden a weird look. "Don't look too deep into it. I still need to thank you for your help today. When are you free? I'll treat you to a meal.""Really? Just the two of us?" Simon's voice instantly grew joyful. Camilla sighed helplessly. "When are you available?"Simon chirped, "I'll have the time once you've fully recovered."Camilla fell silent. She suddenly didn't know what to say."Okay, rest well. I won't disturb you any longer. Go to sleep," Simon said and hung up the phone. He had simply called to check on her."What's wrong?" Jayden noticed Camilla's heavy expression after she hung up the phone
"Not long. You're just in time for dinner." Jayden smiled.Camilla blushed. The evening sunlight framed her face nicely as she sat on the bed, adding a touch of innocence and cuteness. It was completely different from her usual cold and elegant vibe.Jayden's smile deepened at the state she was in, and a hint of tenderness twinkled in his eyes. He leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on the corner of her lips.Camilla snapped back to reality, her face growing even redder. "What are you doing?"Jayden smiled. "Kissing you."Camilla blushed even more. Shyness spread through her heart, and she avoided eye contact with Jayden."Let's go and have dinner." Jayden saw her discomfort and decided to restrain his teasing.Camilla stood up without another word, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Jayden. Jayden chuckled helplessly.Why had he never realized how shy she was?They arrived downstairs and saw the three children already seated in the dining room, waiting for them."Hello, M
Camilla hesitated before nodding. "Sure, let me see."Jayden took out his phone and showed her the photos. Camilla looked through them, and her expression became solemn.How should she put it? They weren't just identical, it was like they were carved from the same mold. Her eyes and eyebrows were identical to Jenna's, while her nose and mouth were from Jackie's. Were they really her biological parents? Wasn't this something that only happened in web novels?Camilla asked, "Can we do a paternity test without their knowledge?""Yes." Jayden nodded. This was a piece of cake to him."What do you plan to do if the results come back positive?" Jayden asked.Camilla looked into the distance. The sun was still setting in the distance, casting a long trail of radiant light along the horizon. It was dazzling and breathtaking. She sighed. "I don't know."Jayden stared at her. "If you still yearn for parental love, you can consider reuniting with them. But if you couldn't care less about
Camilla arrived at the shop and saw Charlotte busy with work. When Charlotte saw her, a look of surprise crossed her face. "Someone came yesterday and told me you were taking a week off. Why are you already back today?"Camilla smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry. Something urgent came up yesterday. But I'm fine now and ready to work again."Charlotte smiled. "You don't have to push yourself. I can manage here myself.""I'm fine," Camilla returned a smile, "Really."Charlotte decided to let her be.Camilla went to the break room and changed into her work uniform. After she put on her hat and mask, she got down to work.Charlotte sat on a chair and sipped at her coffee. She suddenly asked, "Camilla, what's your relationship like with Jayden?"Camilla froze slightly. "It's complicated."Charlotte quirked an eyebrow. "How so?"Camilla's face reddened slightly. Because of her see-through mask, her expression was out on display.Charlotte nodded understandingly. "Oh, I see.""I env
Charlotte stood up. "Well, don't let me take up any more of your time.""Goodbye." Camilla sent Charlotte on her way. Her gaze fell on the dessert in her hand. She slowly placed it on the counter as her mind ran amok. She wanted to be with Jayden. But she also wanted to be his equal, not some damsel in distress.If she wanted to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him, she had to work harder. She may not have come from a prestigious family, but she could strive to further her knowledge. Although the wives of prestigious families have a certain education level, wasn't it better to aim for the moon?She would change herself for him and become even more outstanding.Camilla made up her mind, and the heaviness in her heart gradually disappeared....In the evening, she returned to the Moore manor. Jayden wasn't home. But the three children were playing in the living room."Ms. Camilla, you're back!" Melanie rushed over and hugged Camilla."Melly, why are you so happy today?" Camilla
Camilla went downstairs and poured herself a glass of water. The cold water managed to soothe her burning cheeks. But the thought of Jayden's confession only made her heart race. She quickly drank a few more sips of water to calm her restless emotions. After regaining her composure, Camilla began to ponder. Her injuries were almost healed, so she shouldn't stay there any longer. Moreover, if she went back to her own home, she would have time to study with Charlotte. It would be troublesome if she continued staying here. She wanted to grow herself quietly and amaze him."What are you thinking about?" Just then, Jayden's voice sounded from behind Camilla. She turned around and saw that he had come downstairs without her noticing. He smiled at her, and his glasses only further framed his gentle charm."I'm thinking that I should go home," Camilla honestly replied.Jayden paused. "So soon? But aren't you still injured?"Camilla shook her head. "I feel much better now.""You can'
Camilla's body stiffened, and her eyelashes fluttered as she stammered, "I ... I ...""Camilla." Jayden's gentle kiss trailed from her shoulder, up to her ear and cheek. His voice became slightly hoarse. "Will you be my fiancée?"Electric coursed through Camilla's vein, and she sank into the bed. Her lips unconsciously parted, and she began breathing heavily like a fish gasping for air."Promise me, okay?" Jayden continued to kiss her gently, guiding her. He was like a hunter, stealthily leading her into his trap.Camilla's consciousness began to blur under his breath and his kisses. She had been in love with this man for five years! Despite her previous resistance, all her defenses crumbled from the kisses he was giving her. She turned around to peck his lips. "Okay."Jayden shuddered before he rained down kisses on Camilla, consuming her entirely.The night was still young....The next day, Jayden accompanied Camilla to work. She had a shy expression on her face due to her
